<br><font size=2 face="Calibri">Hey there hockey players,</font>
<br><font size=2 face="Calibri"> </font>
<br><font size=2 face="Calibri">As Craig recently pointed out Monday has
become, for lack of a better word a ‘sh** fight’ though i haven’t been
for a few weeks i can certainly understand this. Luckily after many
long hours in the lab, checking numbers and brewing solutions we have come
up with some form of an answer:</font>
<br><font size=2 face="Calibri"> </font>
<br><font size=2 face="Calibri">Its been in the pipeline for a while, but
due to some personal inconveniences I am only just getting around to it:</font>
<br><font size=2 face="Calibri"> </font>
<br><font size=2 face="Calibri"> </font>
<br><font size=2 face="Calibri">Top tier, elite, underwater hockey athlete,
pointy end of the competition, exclusive, inclusive ‘insert more clichés
here’ player and game development.</font>
<br><font size=2 face="Calibri"> </font>
<br><font size=2 face="Calibri">How will this work?</font>
<br><font size=2 face="Calibri"> </font>
<br><font size=2 face="Calibri">A select group of ‘senior’ players will,
from a group of applicants select two teams of 8 players who will get ‘exclusive’
use of court 3 on Monday nights from 8:30 – 9:30. Each player will
be selected a backup player, this is the player they ring and get
to come along if they are unable to attend any particular session.
So 16 players playing each night, with 16 players ‘on call’ . There
is nothing to stop anyone from playing in court one or two while all this
goes on.</font>
<br><font size=2 face="Calibri"> </font>
<br><font size=2 face="Calibri">These teams of 8 players will then play
for around the next 8 weeks. Then we reshuffle players etc etc.</font>
<br><font size=2 face="Calibri"> </font>
<br><font size=2 face="Calibri">So what are we looking for in players?</font>
<br><font size=2 face="Calibri"> </font>
<br><font size=2 face="Calibri">- Able
to listen, adapt and contribute to development of hockey on both a personal
and team level.</font>
<br><font size=2 face="Calibri">- KEEN
AS! Needs to show up to a majority of sessions (obviously sometimes
you have to work etc we understand that)</font>
<br><font size=2 face="Calibri">- Able
to play at a competitive level</font>
<br><font size=2 face="Calibri"> </font>
<br><font size=2 face="Calibri">These session will involve more than just
jumping in the pool for a muck around game. There will be some small
white board/theory session run by a variety of different people, some small
drill session etc etc.</font>
<br><font size=2 face="Calibri"> </font>
<br><font size=2 face="Calibri">But mostly this is about keeping the fun
in the game, but in a high level situation.</font>
<br><font size=2 face="Calibri"> </font>
<br><font size=2 face="Calibri">If you are interested in either being a
‘senior’ player to help with the development of this program or keen
to play or just have any questions or want to bitch and moan about me turning
court three into an ‘exclusive’ game please direct all abuse etc to </font><a href=mailto:nmartyn@netspace.net.au><font size=2 color=blue face="Calibri"><u>nmartyn@netspace.net.au</u></font></a><font size=2 face="Calibri">
a simple email with your name and position as the subject please.</font>
<br><font size=2 face="Calibri"> </font>
<br><font size=2 face="Calibri">Do this ASAP as it would be good to have
the first session ASAP, 17<sup>th</sup> mayish?</font>
<br><font size=2 face="Calibri"> </font>
<br><font size=2 face="Calibri">Cheers</font>
